At 6 o'clock in the morning of 17 March, the Japanese army launched a fierce bombardment of Tengxian County with the intensive firepower of 50 or 60 mountain and field artillery, and at the same time, more than 20 planes dropped bombs and strafed the air. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the whole city is a sea of fire, and the whole place is scorched.

After two hours of shelling, the Japanese began to attack Dongguan. The enemy, led by more than a dozen tanks, covered its infantry to charge through the collapsed gap in Dongguan, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties.

At 2 p.m. the enemy suddenly launched an attack on the southern wall. After two hours of heavy artillery and aircraft bombardment, the southern wall was almost razed to the ground. Due to the sudden attack of the enemy, the defenders were caught off guard, and for a moment flesh and masonry flew sideways, and suffered heavy casualties.

When the enemy attacked Dongguan, Wang Mingzhang had a premonition that his troops could no longer resist the Japanese attack, and he sent a farewell telegram to Sun Zhen, commander-in-chief of the 22nd Group Army: "From morning to noon, the enemy continued to bombard, the city wall was breached in several places, and the enemy infantry repeatedly climbed the city, was repeatedly repulsed, and killed many enemies. The job is determined to fight to the death, in order to report the country, to report the encounter. ”

Sun Zhen was very anxious after receiving the farewell telegram from the general, and kept sending telegrams to Tang Enbo's regiment, which was closest to Teng County, asking Tang Enbo to rescue Teng County, but Tang Enbo only worked hard for a while, and after being blocked by the Fifth Division, he retracted and only called back and said that there was nothing he could do.

Just when the Sichuan Army in Tengxian County was in danger, the Second Brigade led by Ding Wei marched overnight, evaded the blockade of the Japanese army's peripheral troops, and finally came to Liuquan Village, Jiehe Town, near Teng County.

Looking at the scene of the roaring artillery fire in front of him, Ding Wei knew that the Sichuan army was already at a critical juncture of life and death, and there was no time to discuss and study the combat deployment, Ding Wei immediately made a decision and immediately issued an order: "The battle situation in Tengxian County is urgent, we don't have time to carefully consolidate, now I order Wang Jing to lead the artillery battalion to calculate the coordinates of the devil's artillery position as quickly as possible, and eliminate the devil's artillery unit."

Secondly, once the artillery battalion's shelling began, the Fifth Regiment attacked Tengxian County with the most rapid and courageous attitude, opened the way with automatic firepower, and the artillery carried enough portable bazookas and grenadiers to clear all the devils in the city and lead the Sichuan army to break out of the encirclement.

In the end, the Fourth Regiment and the Sixth Regiment made a big noise, creating the illusion that the main force of the Kuomintang Army was coming to help, forcing the devils to retreat. All units must give full play to the superiority of the firepower of our instructors, defeat the Japanese army at the first time, and not give them a chance to react. ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" The comrades replied firmly.

Ding Wei waved his hand: "Let's act!" ”

After Commander Wang Mingzhang sent a farewell telegram to Commander-in-Chief Sun Zhen, who had always admired him very much, he completely put down all his burdens and was determined to repay the country with death.

Wang Mingzhang was born in the Sichuan Army and has infinite love for his hometown and motherland. Before the Anti-Japanese War, the Sichuan army can be said to be the epitome of the Chinese soldiers at that time, the Sichuan warlords fought the civil war behind closed doors for more than 20 years, but after the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, the Sichuan army from the warlords to the small soldiers, all repented for the civil war for more than 20 years, and was determined to fight to the end in this national war related to the life and death of the country, so as to wash away the great shame of the civil war of the Sichuan army for more than 20 years.

Under the warm farewell of the fathers and elders in central Sichuan, the thinly dressed soldiers of the Sichuan army wore rotten straw sandals and carried simple and backward equipment out of Sichuan Province, traveled thousands of miles, and boarded the anti-Japanese battlefield with high spirits.

Although the bad impression formed by the Sichuan army on the people of the whole country over the past 20 years or so has made them a ragtag unit that is not loved by grandmothers and uncles, the officers and men of the Sichuan army still have no complaints or regrets, and they rush to wherever they are needed on the battlefield, gradually reversing the bad impression of the military and people throughout the country on them.

At this time, Wang Mingzhang led his troops to hold Teng County for four days and nights, a total of more than 100 hours, the defenders fought bravely against the Japanese invaders who were ten times their size, and so far more than 3,000 Sichuan soldiers have sacrificed their precious lives for the survival of the Chinese nation.

Thinking of the ardent expectations of the fathers and elders of Sichuan for the children and soldiers of the Sichuan army, tears faintly flashed in Wang Mingzhang's eyes. So many children of the Sichuan army died in the small county town of Teng County, Wang Mingzhang had already sprouted the will to live and die, and felt that as their commander, he could not bring them back to Sichuan safely to reunite with their relatives, so he could only sacrifice to give an explanation to his father and fellow villagers.

General Wang Mingzhang completely forgot about life and death, and took his guards to carry all the submachine guns, and rushed wherever the position was the most dangerous.

Under the infection of the spirit of the division commander as a pioneer, the soldiers of the Sichuan army were all reluctant to forget their lives and death, and fought bravely to kill the enemy. However, the Sichuan army was at a huge disadvantage in terms of strength and firepower, and even if it resisted the Japanese artillery fire with flesh and blood, it was still forced back by the Japanese army step by step and compressed in a small area west of the city.

The heroic and stubborn resistance of the Sichuan army won the respect and attention of the Japanese army, and the 10th Division at this time no longer had the relaxed mood at the beginning of the war, and the battle in Tengxian had reached four days and nights, and the commanders of the two major front armies in Central and North China had already called to question, and Lieutenant General Isogu Lianjie also felt the pressure.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

On the artillery positions of the 10th Division, the artillery fire did not stop for a moment, and under the strict orders of Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoko, the Japanese troops bombarded the last position of the Sichuan army like tireless machines, vowing to wipe out the Shina troops who dared to resist the imperial army.

"Wang Jing, has the devil's artillery position been measured?" Ding Wei asked anxiously on the phone at the command post of the brigade headquarters.

"Report to the brigade commander, it has been calculated, brigade commander, please give an order!" The king replied excitedly.

"Okay, shoot now!" Ding Wei said decisively.

"Boom, boom!"

With Ding Wei's order, more than 100 artillery pieces of the artillery battalion roared at the same time, and they bombarded the Japanese artillery positions indiscriminately.

"Warriors of the Imperial Army, if you work harder, soon the people of China will be wiped out by us." Wing Commander of the 20th Field Artillery Wing of the 10th Division, Haruji Taniguchi, said coldly.

But at this moment, an officer suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God! What is that? ”

"Woohoo...... Woo Woo ......"

"Nani?" Haruji Haseguchi followed the sound and looked out, and found that the dense shells were slamming towards his artillery position like meteorites.

"Get out of the way, it's the shelling of the Chi Na people!" Haruji Haseguchi shouted in horror.

"Boom!"

However, at this time, it was too late for the Japanese to come and dodge, and in the violent explosion of more than a hundred shells, Haruji Haseguchi was torn to pieces by the shells as soon as possible, and returned to the arms of Amaterasu, and hundreds of Japanese artillery soldiers had the same fate as him.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The artillery battalion of the 2nd Brigade artillery battalion continued to have shells, and the orange-red shells were shining with brilliant sparks, constantly whistling, and after only three rounds of shelling, the casualties of the Japanese artillery wing had exceeded a quarter.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion made persistent efforts, constantly carrying shells to fill the muzzles, and then skillfully maneuvered the cannons to fire at the Japanese positions.
